Mule-101 Exam Dumps - Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Integration Foundations

Service Mesh vs. API Gateway:

API Gateway:Typically managesNorth-Southtraffic (traffic entering the application network from external clients).

Service Mesh:Is designed to manageEast-Westtraffic (traffic flowingbetweenmicroservices within the application network or cluster).

Anypoint Service Mesh:It manages, secures, and observes communicationbetween services within the application(microservices), ensuring zero-trust security and policy enforcement inside the Kubernetes cluster.

Confidentiality:This security concept ensures that information is not made available or disclosed to unauthorized individuals, entities, or processes.

Encryption (Option A):Transforming readable data (plaintext) into unreadable data (ciphertext) is the primary technical control for confidentiality.7If a file with PII is stolen but encrypted, the confidentiality is maintained89.10

Why others are incorrect:

Signing (C):EnsuresIntegrity(proving the data hasn't changed), not confidentiality (the data is still readable).

De-masking (B):Removesprotection.

Providing Private Key (D):This is a severe security breach, not a protection mechanism.

Context:This scenario describes a classicB2B (Business-to-Business)integration.

Sharing data with external partners (Option C):EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the global standard for exchanging business documents (like Purchase Orders) between different organizations (Trading Partners). This fits the "External Partners" criteria perfectly.

Synchronized data transfer (Option B):The requirement is to take data from the incoming source (EDI file) and map/move it into a target system (ERP) to create an order. This process of moving data from System A to System B to keep them consistent is defined as synchronized data transfer.

Anypoint Studio:This is the desktop Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for MuleSoft.

Capabilities:

Implement:It provides the graphical interface to drag-and-drop connectors and configure flows.

Run Locally:It includes an embedded Mule Runtime engine, allowing developers to run and debug apps on their own machines.

Execute Unit Tests:It has MUnit fully integrated, allowing developers to run tests and see coverage reports directly in the IDE.

Why others are incorrect:

API Designer:Web-based tool fordesigningspecs (RAML), not implementing logic or running local runtimes.

Anypoint CLI:Command-line tool for platform operations, not development/testing.

(Note: The question implies "What is the next step after design/validation?" or "How is the spec used?". Based on the answer key A, the context is how the spec drives development).

API-Led Connectivity & Design-First:MuleSoft promotes a "Design-First" approach. You first write the RAML or OAS specification.

MuleSoft scaffolding:Once the specification is designed and published to Exchange, the developer imports it into Anypoint Studio. Studio thenscaffolds(automatically generates) the Mule flows based on the API Specification.

The Workflow:

Design:Create the API contract (RAML/OAS).

Publish:Publish to Exchange.

Build (Answer A):Use the API specification to generate the flow structure (APIkit Router) and implement the logic.

This ensures the implementation strictly matches the design defined in the earlier phases.
